Strange Again

"Kai, are you okay?" kennan asked a few minutes later.

Earlier, Kaivan was a little away from his friends and they were still focused on calming down each other, so no one knew about the incident just now. Now, Kaivan is nervous and misbehaved with the presence of Kennan, which is then followed by Elbi, Nakula, and other friends.

"I ... I .. I'm okay, that's okay." Kaivan. He was reluctant to look at his comrades as his face suddenly heated up. I don't know why it could be.

"Thank God you're okay. We were worried because we saw you were glued for a long time" Nakula said.

"Maybe .. effect of the incident, sister. I was afraid of it." Kaivan tried to smile. "A long time, but feelings are only seconds. Ish, it sucks," he continued inwardly.

"Have you called Auntie?" ask Elbi.

"Mmm not yet, it's still calling." Kaivan opened his bag again and turned on the phone that had been turned off.

"Yes, the phone call! Let's not worry anymore. My parents were crying about it" Elbi said.

Kaivan smiled wryly and then contacted his mother, while following the steps of his friends— out of the airport and towards the hotel not far from there. Kaivan felt guilty for making his mother and sister cry. However, what could be said, all of this was out of his control.

Shortly after, Nakula's car arrived. They went up and put all the stuff in. Kaivan chose the back bench, near the window. Along the way, he chose to be quiet and not to discuss the conversation of friends, who discussed the matter on the plane. Kaivan simply threw a look outside. Unknowingly, his memory was fixed on the girl he met a few minutes ago.

"The other women were very frightened, but not with him. He was acting ordinary, as if nothing had happened. Very hard on him, "inner Kaivan. Either consciously or not, he had praised the girl.

____________________

Kaivan is one room with Kennan and Elbi, while Nakula is in the next room with Devan and Vicki. While the other three friends—Doni, Andre, and Karel, they are downstairs.

From the first second of setting foot there, Kaivan had not done much activity. He just lay there playing his cell phone. Other than prayer, there were no more activities he did. He ignored eating, drinking, and arranging things even though Kennan and Elbi had invited him.

"What the hell are you, Kai? The feeling of diem was sharp from earlier. Come out yuk, catch the wind ahead! It's the same Nakula and the others as well" Kennan said. His gaze occasionally stared at Kaivan, occasionally staring at the phone screen.

"You two, I'll wait here. Tired, peeping rest," said Kaivan without moving. He remained on his stomach while hugging a pillow.

"You've been sleeping like that, time is still tired. It's spoiled!" cycad Kennan.

"Come, Kai! Not fun for you." Elbi also chimed in.

"I'm really tired. I'm just waiting here, yeah, rather than tomorrow not being able to go to the top." Kaivan replied while looking at his two friends.

After a while of arguing, Elbi and Kennan finally resigned. He left Kaivan and left him alone in a hotel room.

After they left, Kaivan got up and looked at his backpack. Lazily he took out luggage and arranged it on the table, as well as preparing the items needed tomorrow.

A few moments later, his movement stopped. Kaivan was fixated on one item that made his heart beat fast.

Seriate....
